Class 38 Diesel Loco


At present, I know almost nothing about these locos.  I know that they are fairly new, and they are used for yard duties, such as shunting.  An interesting thing, is that this loco has a diesel motor/generator AND a pantograph for overhead power use.  I have only seen them use the panthographs.
